Yes. But we also don't get there my circumventing all Open Source licenses and installing a check valve into the direction of proprietary software.

The end goal of having "just software" actually means that everything is Open Source. (The other option would be to kill Open Source).
Which I currently don't see as a realistic possibility.

Not only the end goal is important, but also the intermediate steps.

You'll be delighted to know that's not how any of this works, then - it's just autocomplete with some extra powers and bells and whistles, it doesn't circumvent anything

The Intel architectural branch predictor is just a fancy autocomplete too. And it's perfectly safe.
